IMPROVEMENT |N cHuRNs.

Specification forming'part of Letters Patent No. 149,668, dated April 14, 1874; application filed January 2l, 1874.

From a mortise in the top of this inclined` standard C C there rests a Weighted lever, b b, fulcrumed upon springs, and moving on a pin passing through it and the top of the main standard C C. flhe springs used are made of metal wire or elastic material of sufcient consistency to forni a durable spring, and are held in laterally-made mortises in the main standard C C. At the end of the weighted lever where the power is attached, and just over the point wherejthis lever connects with the churndasher, I provide a clevis-shaped dasherguide, a, adjustable by a bolt to the weighted lever b, which guide is a regulator to the motion and direction ofthe chnrn-dasher when in operation. The churn is held to its Xed position by a pin and key, E, close against the foot f the standard C' C. f

The advantages claimed for my invention,

as shown by actual experiment, are, irst, it saves one-third the labor usually employed in the use of churn-powers now in use; second, will-produce butter quicker by half the time than hand-power churns; third, its 'simplicity of construction and ease of operating.

What I claim, and desire lto secure by Letters Patent, is i The arrangement of a churn-power and a weighted lever, b, fulcrumed upon an inclined and adjustable support, C C, sustaining the reacting springs f f, as shown and described.
